Apart from Leona, Wallace was the other person Angor recognized.
Wallace was wearing his usual white robe. He was talking to a female apprentice with short black hair at a table on one side of the hall.
The female apprentice had an outstanding appearance. Her eyes were the color of wisteria, short black hair, and deep red lips gave her an exotic look. Her eyes were like the eyes of a cat. When she squinted, her pupils looked like vertical slits, which gave her a murderous look.
Angor recognized her. She was one of the two strongest apprentices in Brute Cavern.
She was Wallace's student and the holder of the golden poster, Nanagi.
Speaking of Nanagi, Angor had to mention the other apprentice who shared the title with her, Vice Edward.
Vice was also in the hall at this moment. He stood behind a gray-haired man with his head lowered in silence. His face, which was usually filled with a strong sense of aggressiveness, was now restrained.
The man sitting on the sofa in the center of the hall and talking to Sunders as an equal was a wizard Angor had never seen before.
Angor couldn't tell his age, but he looked like a middle-aged man.
He was wearing a black wizard robe, which gave him a cold and distant aura.
The man's aura was so cold that Angor could feel the chill seeping into his bones even before he came into contact with the man.
Apart from the chilling aura, the man's most eye-catching feature was his eyes, which were a pair of strange pupils. His left eye was the same color as his hair, which was gray like the eyes of a blind man. His right eye, on the other hand, was golden in color. It was pure gold, as if it had been polished to the point that its surface was shiny, bright and dazzling.
Whenever the man's right eyelid fluttered, there would be a tiny golden flash.
Angor had never seen this man before. But considering Vice and the strange pupils, Angor had a rough idea of who this man was.
If this man was the one Master Mithra talked about, then …
That would be a big deal.
Angor walked into the hall. As soon as he entered, the atmosphere in the hall changed.
The wizards who were busy with their own business all stood up and took their seats at a long table on one side of the hall.
As the owner of the manor, Saunders sat on the main seat. The gray-haired man sat on his right while Wallace sat beside him.
Angor sat down on Sunders' left side, facing the gray-haired man.
The gray-haired man's cold expression softened a little as he nodded at Angor.
Leona sat down beside Angor and whispered to him, "Congratulations. I didn't think you'd make it this fast." Leona's sweet scent lingered around her body as she spoke to Angor.
Angor nodded with a smile but did not respond right away.
Those who were seated were all official Magi, while all the acolytes were outside the hall.
As everyone took their seats, Butler Number One flew in leisurely. There were a few plates floating around him, and on each plate was a wine goblet. There was a crystal clear liquid inside, and it emitted a rich wine aroma.
Vaguely, the wine aroma turned into mist and formed butterflies dancing in the air.
"Lady Greya said these are Felicia's Floating Butterflies," Butler Number One explained, "and she said they were made by Felicia. This is the only cup, no refills. "
Leona smiled and picked up the goblet first. "As expected of Madam Butterfly's wine. This smell can be used as a perfume with some supplementary materials. Oh, and please thank Lady Greya for her. "
Butler Number One nodded and left the hall.
Everyone took a sip of the wine, and the originally cold scene slowly became more relaxed because of the wine.
Angor already knew all of them, so Sunders focused on the gray-haired man in front of him.
"Horus has been traveling in the general plane for a long time and just returned recently. Because of his interest in alchemy, Mister Rein arranged for him to stay in Floating Mech City. He's now the leader of the station here. "Sunders only gave a brief introduction, but he already provided enough information.
Angor already knew who the man was, but he still felt his heart skipping a beat when Sunders mentioned Horus' name.
"Lord of Winter" Horus!
A powerful wizard who lived in the same era as Mister Rein. Before Sunders rose to power, Horus was the strongest wizard in Brute Cavern apart from Mister Rein and the Ancestor Soul.
Angor could tell how powerful Horus was from the general planes he traveled to.
There was a plane named Horus' Realm in the extraterritorial space. This was the highest honor that could be bestowed upon the discoverers and explorers of unknown dimensions. They were given this name in their own name.
Horus had discovered a plane that was filled with danger. In terms of development, he had far surpassed the other adepts.
Therefore, the plane was named after him.
There was no doubt about Horus' power.
Angor still remembered "Eternal Dawn" Dichiel, the chief editor of Firefly's Night Tales, said something about Horus that was widely spread.
When the golden Eye of Horus looks down on you, the curtain of the play named "You" will be pulled down. No one can wake you up from the eternal ice. You will forever be trapped under the Lord of Winter.
Dichiel's comment was not made up.
It was the "Lord of Winter" that Horus displayed with his own power.
Even among the rank 2 truth-finder Wizards, Horus was definitely one of the best.
Angor felt a little cautious when talking to Horus. Horus, on the other hand, did not treat Angor coldly. "It's all thanks to you that I'm able to study in Floating Mech City."
Angor became a member of the research department, which pulled Brute Cavern from an alchemy wasteland into the core world of alchemy.
Horus was also interested in alchemy. Without Angor, it would not be easy for him to study in Floating Mech City.
"I heard from the vice principal that you'll be teaching in Ashillia soon. I'm looking forward to it."
Angor was a little surprised by Horus' words. He did not want to run into the Water Witch. Angor remembered that he would not tell anyone about his class until tomorrow. He did not expect Horus to know about it already.
"Oh, Angor is teaching in Ashillia?" Leona looked at Angor in surprise. "Then I must go."
Horus spoke in a plain tone, "I heard there are many alchemists who want to attend Angor's class. You might not be able to get it."
Leona looked at Angor. "Is that so? If I can't, I'll have to think of a way to get in through the back door. "
The conversation between Horus and Leona eased the tension in the air. However, Angor still felt a lot of pressure.
Angor was only going to teach to earn some credit points. But now, it felt like they were here to observe his class.
Sunders was also surprised by Angor's request. If Horus did not mention it, Sunders would not have known about it.
"To earn some credit points, I need a magic material," Angor said. "Vifet needs it."
Sunders immediately understood when Angor mentioned Vifet's name. "He doesn't need Fragments of Eternity?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. He lowered the price a little. But what he wants can't be bought outside. The research department has it, but it requires credit points."
Sunders nodded. He had been trying to contact some of his old friends to see if there were any Fragments of Eternity for sale. Unfortunately, they were too hard to find, and those who found them all kept them to themselves. Since Vifet was willing to lower the price, it would be for the best.
Everyone at the table listened to Angor and Sunders' conversation in confusion. It felt like something fishy was going on.
"What are you two talking about, Sunders? Why do I feel it's so strange?" Leona and Horus were not in a good position to ask, but Wallace, the academism wizard who never got along well with Sunders, did not hesitate to ask.
"Just some personal matters." Sunders glanced at Wallace. "Speaking of which, I didn't invite you here today, did I?"
Wallace didn't get angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I'm not here for you. I'm here to congratulate Angor on his breakthrough. Or do you think I should go and congratulate him in private? "
Sunders' expression froze for a second.
Horus had just returned to the southern wizarding region, so he did not know what they were talking about. Leona used a voice transmission to explain, "Wallace has been eyeing Angor for a long time."
Before Angor became a wizard, Wallace wanted to trick Angor into becoming his student.
Now that Angor was a wizard, Wallace's goal was to get Angor to become a teacher at Seagull Academy.
Horus nodded. "Angor's style is more like Wallace's."
They were both academicians.
If Wallace went to congratulate Angor in private, he might be able to persuade Angor.
Sunders glanced at Horus and Leona. "Can you two use a worse voice transmission spell?"
Although they used a sound transmission spell, everyone present was an official wizard. Without a special channel, it sounded like they were talking loudly to each other.
Due to Horus and Leona's voice transmissions, Sunders didn't argue with Wallace, and Wallace didn't pursue the matter either.
"Let's talk about other things later. Back to the main topic."
Horus came here for two things. First, to establish a connection between Brute Cavern and Floating Mech City. Second, to discuss the new station manager of Floating Mech City.
Both of them had something to do with Angor.
Since Angor was a member of the R&D department, he would naturally become the central link between Brute Cavern and Floating Mech City. In the future, Brute Cavern would send apprentice alchemists to Floating Mech City for further studies, and Angor would need to give Horus some authority as a member of the R&D department.
Horus becoming the new manager of Floating Mech City would greatly increase the importance of Floating Mech City. Of course, it was also because Angor was a member of the R&D department. However, Angor did not need to do anything. He could just be a spectator.
